Fascinating conclusion

I guess the FBI and other very credible sources are conspiracy mongers

I Agree, it must all be a conspiracy until it's true!

Federal Bureau of Investigation: The law enforcement agency “has for quite some time now”concluded that the virus originated accidentally from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a Chinese lab that worked on coronaviruses, FBI Directory Christopher Wray told Fox News in February.

I think that the whole issue of what constitutes our interest in national security is crucial to the well being od each citizen. Some of the present precedents being st in our courts need to be severely scrutinized and reversed. See the treatment accorded Cameron Ortis. email me and I will forward a complete expose of the flaws in his treatment.

It is implied that short circuiting security protocols at the Winnipeg Lab was justified due to the burdens of “red tape” that stifled innovation and normal progression of information sharing.

Viewed through the lens of intellectual property protection and the dangerous nature of the materials handled, I find that argument self serving and a shade arrogant. The top managers have an obligation to protect IP and to ensure that any transfers of material flow through proper vetted channels. The rules of scientific engagement should be evenly applied regardless of the “star power” involved. To have a “star” from the Winnipeg Lab mysteriously appear on a Chinese patent suggests that more oversight is required, not less.

"the presence of two Chinese-born scientists who displayed shocking naivete about geopolitics and the national security ramifications of their work;"

It is difficult to believe they were telling the truth.

CSIS believes there were national security problems.

"a conspiracy theory that links the NML to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to shadowy Chinese military scientists, to COVID-19, to the theory that COVID originated in a lab leak from Wuhan. "

It's not a conspiracy theory but a definite possibility.

The Chinese government has put up multiple roadblocks to prevent investigations.
